Laurie Wayburn, cofounder and president of Pacific Forest Trust, penned an op-ed in Governing about the opportunity states have to embrace better management of forests and natural landscapes as a solution to climate change. Wayburn highlights the progress being made in California, which is setting a model for the rest of the nation to follow.
Since 1993, Pacific Forest Trust has created economic incentives that reward private forest owners for conserving their lands and practicing sustainable forestry. Pacific Forest Trust has helped shape state and national forest conservation and climate policies, all in an effort to create effective climate change solutions, save wildlife and their habitats, conserve intact forested landscapes, and protect natural water sources.
